I got the same noise in the back and fixed it with some felt around the hooks, that hold the backseats. (hope its understandable).

[PJWey]

Tesla just need a noise dampening software that compensates the creaking wobbly parts

I have a similar issue in the back seat in my 2020 Model 3. If I put something between the bottom part of the seat and the back (where the isofix is) the sound disappears. 🤷‍♂️

[BrokenNinja]

Noises are the worst. Had a few with my used 2021 model 3 LR from china, thankfully still got almost a years warranty to get them all sorted. Rattle from middle of dash, squeaky bushings, wind noise from windscreen being too low, broken clip on wheel cover that got broken during a service visit, and also the same type of sqeak coming from the rear left seat area, not quite figured it out yet but could likely be the mechanism to hold the seat in place

[VPDTDI]

Send it to Elon he knows more about rattles than anyone on earth.😂

[johnhadlow]

Mine too. December 22. Electrical tape (thicker type) from friendly Tesla tech wrapped around metal to which seat clips reduces rattles. I redo it once per month and it keeps it quieter. There is another rattle from the back which I have yet to track down. And another behind the dash since they had it out. It’s these things that really irritate.

[NextGHaHaHa]

in winter on my model 3 the left backseat rattles every time you drive over something uneven, now its warm and its gone
i read that it might have something to do with the folding axle of the seat, there are people that replaced their metal washers with 3d printed plastic ones to eliminate that rattle

[SilkyWayFPV]

I had the same in my model 3. it was a play inside the lock that holds the rear backrests. Put a bit of tape around the metal thing that clicks in and it was gone

[ablyably]

In Model 3, the culprit of a similar rattle is a plastic sleeve over a metal pole that connects the back seats. In order to fix it you need to take off the single seat so that the other one that has the center seat connected to it remains in place. In Model 3 center piece is connected to the driver side rear seat.

This plastic sleeve is supposed to click into a groove in the metal pole but it easily comes out of it. This means that the other seat gets to move around the metal pole causing the squeaking.

If you do this fix, it might be a good idea to also add a plastic or silicone seal/washer to the seat mounting point. In Model 3 this mounting point consists of bracket that attaches to the car with two bolts (permanently fixed to the car) and another bolt that attaches to the seat. Place the seal/washer in between the single bolt to make it thight.

These fixed most of the squeaking for me.

Could be the connections/hinges at bottom of backrest

[davejohnson]

Tesla needs a team at each of their factories just dedicated to interior noise quality control Totally unacceptable!🤬

[matti]

had the same, it’s the hook of the backseat. put some duct tape around it and it’s gone

[sergeibeliaev]

I had a similar terrible rattle in the back. Coming from the backseat. 😮 It was the loosen headrest on the right. Glad it was fixed. 😅

[treborg]

It took years to identify, but I’ve had a buzz that is resonant with some road surfaces & freeways. It’s coming from a trim piece under the passenger front seat on the inside of the outboard seat rail. I’ve stuffed a small, wadded up plastic bag in there to kill the buzz.

[veluria]

@TTemobility also says in his videos that putting some duct tape on the hooks of the backseats will fix the rattling.

[KevinT]

In the classic Ioniq, some of us have had to wrap the seat latch hoops in electrical tape to eliminate rattling.

[fredrink]

It’s really tempting to rent this car for the summer….

[ToddHarris]

My 23 model Y has that same noise, but not quite as loud and when I fold down the seats, it does the same thing – no noise. Drives me nuts.
